Excellent

Receptionists friendly and doctors actually listen to you

I cannot believe how professional, attentive and helpful this medical practice is. The clinical staff are so understanding and caring. I had a very difficult experience at my previous practice over nearly two decades. Thanks to good fortune, we do not need to visit the GP very often, but the few times we did go there was minimal support offered, with suggestions to simply return in a couple of weeks. I was never referred to a specialist, and when I attempted to switch practices, there was no availability. Last year I decided to try this practice, which is conveniently close to my home. I was initially hesitant due to a few negative reviews I had read online. Unfortunately, over the past year we have needed to use the GP services more frequently than in the previous twenty years combined. I am very grateful that we have been cared for by this practice. The atmosphere is completely different and so much better. The reception team are consistently friendly, helpful and welcoming. The clinical staff genuinely listen and take time with patients rather than rushing appointments. When I had a workplace injury affecting my back, I was referred to physiotherapy immediately. Unfortunately, the physiotherapist was unable to arrange the imaging I needed due to waiting list constraints. I travelled abroad to visit family and arranged private imaging there. When I returned and attended an appointment to discuss the results, the clinical staff member showed genuine care and concern, and promptly referred me to the appropriate specialists for the issues identified in the imaging. I was astonished by this response. At my previous practice, I was never offered specialist referrals, and they were unwilling to review medical records from abroad or arrange investigations. I felt compelled to share this feedback as a small way of expressing my appreciation and to encourage the team to continue the excellent work they do daily.
